It’s only right that energy companies will repay money held in closed accounts, says Uswitch.com

The big six energy suppliers have today announced plans to return money in closed accounts to customers.

Tom Lyon, energy expert at Uswitch.com, says: “Today’s announcement is welcome news and evidence that the big six energy companies are at last beginning to put consumers first. This money belongs to customers and it’s only right that suppliers take steps to return it. Energy companies have also pledged that unclaimed balances that can’t be returned will be used to benefit vulnerable customers – meaning those who are most in need of help receive it.”
